Charles W. Flanagan High School

Charles W. Flanagan High School

Charles W. Flanagan High School opened its doors in 1996 as the first public high school in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Flanagan High School is located near Broward County's C.B. Smith Park and the Walter C. Young Middle School and Resource Center.

Flanagan’s enrollment is now just over 3000. The school used to operate on a block schedule with four periods in a day, each period being about 90 minutes long. As of the 2016-2017 school year, Flanagan High School dropped this schedule and picked up a more cost-effective schedule provided by the Broward County School Board. Flanagan High School was featured as a "Top 1000 high schools in the nation" by Newsweek based on statistics such as Advanced Placement enrollment.

Flanagan has a Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FSA) school grade of "A" for the 2016-2017 academic year.[4]
